Oiling the Waters When the Seas Are
Running High.
When the captain of a wave beaten
ship pours oil upon the waters he does
not empty a barrel of keroqene over
the side. He has somebody''stitch up
three or four cotton bags, which he
fills first with oakum and then with
oil. usually equal parts of fish oil and
kerosene. The bags are then tied
tightly at the tops and pricked.all over
with a sail needle to permit the oil to
exude and are hung from the be:'
davits and weather chains to drip their
contents on the raging billows. The
bags must not be allowed to get emp
ty, but must be refilled every two
hours. For six bags ten gallons of
oil are used in thirty hours. Some
times if it is very cold the oil congeals
and will not run out through the holes
fast enough. and the mouth of the
bag Is then loosened to let it escape
In that way. Its effect Is magical on
a rough sea. A huge comber will
arise, threatening to bury the laboring
vessel under tons of water, but will
strike a patch of oil -no larger than a
common dining table and subside in

The use of oil is also a valuable aid

THE SUMMIT OF FUI.
When Morning Breaks Over the Very

Suddenly a spark. a fame and then
a burst of fire, and, lo and behold,
the rosy morning is awake once more
on Fuji's pearly crest while Japan,
below, Is yet enveloped in the filmy
mists of night.
The pilgrims fall on their knees and i
bow their heads to the ground in ado
ration, and with much fingering of
rosaries the plaintive cadence of their
prayers rises like a lamentation to ths
heavens above.
At Benares, the sainted city of the
Hindoos, as the sun rises each morn

not more picturesque than that little
band of pilgrims 'twixt heaven and
earth, high up in the blue profound.

"I must tell you the joke on me,"
said a business woman who "keeps
bach" in a cunning little apartment.
"Last week I invited two friends for1
luncheon. As I have just an hour at
noon I got everything ready before I
left In the morning that could be pre
pared and set on the Ice. I made a
lovely salad, a dessert, prepared for
toasted muffins and tea and set my ta
ble In all its glory, even buying some
flowers for a centerpiece. My guests
met me at the office and we went to
the apartment. What do you think I
had done? Left my keys inside and
locked the door!
"There was absolutely no way for us
to get in. The janitor had a pass key,
but he was away. All the windows on
the fire escapes were locked, and no
other key In the building fitted. There
was nothing to do but take my guests
to'a restaurant. Then I found that I
had not even brought my purse from
the office, never dreaming that I should
need It. I had to ask my guests for
money to pay for the luncheon, and,
as It happened, they only had a quar
ter each above their carfare. We went
to the cheapest place we could find
and had sandwiches and coffee.

"Probably no educational institution
in our country has ever graduated two a
more eminent and eloquent lawyers fi
than old Dartmouth college gave us tf

says a writer !n Our Dumb Animals. g<
"It was my privilege as a member of
the Suffolk bar to attend many years n
ago the trial of one of the most im- E
portant cases of the year in our su- s(

"On the two sides were arrayed f,
some half a dozen of our most emi- je

Rufus Choate, as it happened, were on
the same side. c<
"A. hostile witness was put on by pi
the other side, some of whose evidence o:
was of the utmost importance to Web- al
ster and Choate, if it could be ob- w
tained, and Choate undertook the task %v
of obtaining it. No man at our bar
had more profound skill in cross ex- d]
amination, and the. questions he - put s<
to the witness were like the fire of a c

"The difference between Webster cl

as it rests In my mind than to com- Si
pare Choate to a Maxim gun raining
bullets of eloquence wherever he. chose
and Webster to a great gun that can l
send out a thirteen inch shell to pene
trate an ironclad.
"It was wonderful to listen to
Choate. I remember a case in which
an ordinary lawyer would have sim
ply said to the court that he. moved a bi
postponement of the case because wit
ness. So-and-so was sick, but in this
case Choate arose and commenced by
saying that his important witness was B
on a bed of sickness and perhaps a
bed of death and so went whirling up tr
almost to the skies on this simple mo

that heard him.
"Our- old chief justice, Judge Sha,w.
one of the greatest lawyers of his
time, was a plain, practical man, and

to the plain facts." ..

dresser when Irving was the lessee of
the Lyceum theater. The young fellow
had been recommended for the place
by Clarkson, the celebrated wigmak

of makeup as he was in everything
else relating to stage equipment, and
be succeeded in impressing Clarkson
with a deep sense of responsibility.
Shortly after his entering upon his
! new duties Clarkson calledMupon his
former empioyee. As Clarason had
noticed that he did not get as many
orders for wigs from Irving as he for
merly did, he had begun to suspect
that the dresser was accountble.

Clarkson demanded without prelimi

tLincoln's great speeches are short.
but how fit in expression, how packed;

eone delivered to his friends on the
eve of his departure for Washington.
Like the second inaugural or the ad

esuperfluous word. Every one fits into
place as perfectly as the carpenter's
braces and timbers into the completed
building.
As a writer, Mr. Lincoln was most
painstaking. He sought always the
simplest, shortest and best word. He
e knew that the simplest and shortest'
word usually is the best The real se-I
cret of his greatness as a speaker and
La writer, however, lay deeper. It was
athe supreme greatness of his soul
Swhich shone through his words that
charmed and still charms the world.

An Elixir of Life.
"An annuity is the best elixir of life
I know of," said the examining physi
ean of an insurance company. "It
sometimes seems as If annuitants
never die. We have lots on our books
who top eighty, ninety and even nine
ty-five years. I have passed many a
sickly and decrepit old fellow as a
good annuity risk-the sicklier they
are. you know. the better risk they
ake-and the next year he has turn
ed up to collect his annuity rejuvenat
ed. rosy, spry as a boy. The secret?
The secret Is that financia- worry, fear
of the poorhouse, ages and kills off
more peop)'e than all the deadly dis
oases coibined. Release an old man
by mean's of an annuity from all this
worry, and he throws off his years and
walks erect and happy and fearlessly
young."

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
Signature of
Relative Hardness of Precious Stones.
The relative hardness of various
stones is easily determined by testing
the power of one stone to make
scratches on another. If a diamond Is
rubbed with one of the points of a
topaz, the topaz point is blunted and
the mark which will be seen on the
face of the diamond is only the dust
of the topaz, which can be brushed off
with the finger. But if the topaz is
rubbed against the diamond the lat
ter is unaltered and the surface of the
former is marked with a scratch
which can be removed only by fur
ther polishing down. It is on the basis
of this process of comparison that a
scale of comparative hardness has
been formed represented by ten sub
stances. of which diamond is the high
est and graphite the lowest in the
scale. It is a curious fact that these
two extremes of the scale. the brilliant
and hard diamond and soft black
graphite, are both chemically the same
substance-pure carbon.-Jewelers' Cir
